The cancellation of the Hajj pilgrimage for Iranians this year was a top story in all Monday newspapers. Most headlines blamed Saudi Arabia, while only one of them, Ghanoon, blamed the protesters who attacked the Saudi embassy and increased diplomatic tension.

The Parliament’s board of governors elections, and the victory of Ali Larijani also received huge coverage by all newspapers. Headlines talked about a loss for reformists, and the MPs who betrayed Mohammad Reza Aref (the leading reformist who ran for the Parliament presidency but lost to Larijani), as well as discussing many other topics related to the factions of the new Parliament.

The ongoing campaign against ISIS terrorists in Iraq and Syria, particularly the operation to liberate Fallujah, remained a top story on Monday.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was also on the front pages of Iranian newspapers, as he started his tour of four European countries, with Poland being his first destination.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin’s visit to Iran and his meetings with President Rouhani and FM Zarif were also highlighted.
